Pinney-
ReplyDeleteEnglish (also present in Ireland): from Middle English peni, peny ‘penny’, applied as a nickname, possibly for a person of some substance or for a tenant who paid a rent of one penny. This was the common Germanic unit of value when money was still an unusual phenomenon. It was the only unit of coinage in England until the early 14th century, when the groat and the gold noble were introduced, and was a silver coin of considerable value. There is some evidence that the word was used in Old English times as a byname.

Iyanola-

Land of the Iguanas
St Lucia was first inhabited by the Arawak Indians, who came to the island from South America approximately two thousand years ago. They were a peace loving tribe that lived mainly by fishing and farming, but after many disputes with the more aggressive Carib Indians, who arrived from South America in approximately 800 AD they all but disappeared.
The Caribs enjoyed an uninterrupted life until the first Europeans landed on the island, said to have been discovered by Columbus in 1502, but more likely was discovered by his former navigator Juan De La Cosa when he landed on the island in 1504.
The first European to truly settle on the island was the infamous pirate Francois Le
Clerc, known as “Jambe De Bois”, meaning wooden leg, who along with his crew of 330 men and 8 ships used Pigeon Island (which at that time was still an island) as their base and because of its unique topography, the island was used as a lookout post to spot passing Spanish Treasure Galleons to attack.
